Mom shares horror of son’s inhumane deportation

IREYS CASIQUE was ready to find his son, Francisco GARCIA CASIQUE, 24 years old. In March, Francisco called Irys of an ice installation to say that he was expelled home in Venezuela the next day. After 6 years apart, they would finally meet again.

But Francisco would never arrive on Venezuelan soil.

Instead, he was expelled to the infamous Cecot prison of Cecot d’El Salvador as well as more than 230 others.

“I was so full of hope, waiting on the sofa, waiting for the news that the planes arrived in Venezuela,” Mirelys told Daily Kos.

But when the images began to circulate on the social networks of shaved and chained forced to kneel on the concrete floors of Cecot, Iryrys knew that Francisco would not come home.

“I wanted to knock my head against the wall, refusing to believe that my son belonged to this place,” she said.

Francisco, like many people that President Donald Trump has without simply referring to the use of the extraterrestrial enemies law of 1798, had no previous criminal conviction. Rather, he was targeted because of his tattoos and the fact that he is from Aragua, the Venezuelan city of the Gang Tren in Aragua.

And while the Trump administration described Francisco as a dangerous criminal to justify keeping it in Salvador, his mother says the opposite.

“He has always been a hairdresser, worker, responsible,” she told Daily Kos.

Before arriving in the United States in 2023, Francisco lived in Peru by working as a hairdresser. In the end, Francisco would cross the border illegally in the United States and go later, starting a long process of compulsory hearings in court while he was trying to become a legal resident. In the meantime, he has lived and worked in Texas.

“He left Venezuela to help his family as a eldest son, not to end up mistreating and locked up a prison as if he were a terrorist,” said Mirelys.

And while the Department of Internal Security insists that Francisco is a member of Tren de Aragua, the young hairdresser was part of an administrative mixture in the past.

An online database from Texas has listed alleged gang members, including Francisco. But the photo was incorrectly identified and was actually a bearded man who is completely not affiliated with Francisco. Although he was listed in the database, Francisco has been released from ice care, given an ankle instructor, and labeled non -threatening when he was waiting for the trial.

But after Trump took office, everything has changed to Mirelys Daily Kos. On February 6, ice agents broken down the door of Francisco and violently removed it in the middle of the night.

“It was an abduction,” she said.

Mireys, like many other parents of Venezuelan men detained in Cecot, has not heard of his son since he went aboard the expulsion flight.

“Francisco is a humble young man. We are low-income people, but that does not mean that we should be labeled criminals or bad people,” she said.

June 16, Iryys – with four other parents of detained men –traveled to Geneva, Switzerland, to plead so that the United Nations intervenes. Many have also tried Travel directly to Salvador To see their loved ones. But even with the lawyers by their side, travel failed.

And while the story of Mireys of a mother with a broken heart can resonate with the citizens of Geneva, she returned to Venezuela without the results she hoped.

“Many have spoken in support, but we want action,” she told Daily Kos. “We want it to end soon. We do not know the extent of their physical and mental deterioration. ”

As The reports have surfaced Regarding torture inside Cecot, the well-being of deported Venezuelan men is a major concern.

We do not know what the next legal steps will be when people and the Rumeys are waiting for the liberation of hope for their loved ones. While the Trump administration previously declared that the responsibility to free anyone in the hands of El Salvador, President Nayib Bukele Now insisted This Salvador simply maintains them in favor of the United States.

For Ireys, all she can do is continue to tell the story of her son and keep hope.

“I want the world to know that even if we cross this great pain and that we are destroyed because it is an injustice – because evil wants to track us down and hurt our families – we always believe in God, and God is right and good,” she said. “He will give us our children.”
